IMPROVEMENT |N BRQILERS.

e Speciiicatioxi forming part of Letters Patent No. 199,822, datedJanuary 29, 1878 application led December 26, 1877.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOHN B. GEYsER, ofAllegheny, in the county of Allegheny, State of Pennsylvania, haveinvented a new and useful Improvement in Broilers; and I do herebydeclare that the following is a full and exact description thereof,reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters ofreference marked thereon.

My-invention relates to that class of broilers in which a sheet ofwire-gauze is employed below the bars in order to prevent smoke, iiame,or other objectionable matter from coming in contact with the article ofdiet which is placed upon the broiler.

My improvement consists in a broiler combined with a ring and anintermediate sheet of wire-gauze, which is clamped around its edges by arecess in the ring, which fits over a rib upon the body of the broiler,the ring and broiler being secured together by means of lugs and screws,all substantially as hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

. In the drawing, Figure l is a vertical central section ltaken througha broiler which has my improvement applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a planView of the broiler.

The broiler is composed of a body, A, bars A', and handle D. Channelsformed in the bars A communicate with a channel, C, in the body, andthis, in turn, with an outlet in the pouring-lip C', all in the usualway.

B represents the sheet of wiregauze secured to the under side of thebroiler 5 and to accomplish this in accordance with my invention, I formthe body A of the broiler with a V-shaped rib, a and also form a ring,E, with a recess corresponding to the rib a'. The wire-gauze is placedupon the under side of the broiler, with its edges projecting a littleover the rib, and the ring is then secured to the broiler, so that theedges of the gauze will be rmly clamped between the rib and recess.

To secure the above in place, the body A has several small lugs, b, andthe ring a corresponding series, F. These are adapted to receive screwsg, whereby the ring and broiler are drawn tightly together, and acompact and durable article is produced.

The body A has a flange,f, around its rim, whereby the joint isconcealed. l

Should the gauze become broken by excessive heat, the ring may beremoved and another sheet of gauze inserted, in the manner hereinbeforedescribed, without involving the eX- pense of another broiler and ring.

A Vbroiler having a rib, a', and lugs b, in com bination with thcannular recessed ring E, having lugs which correspond to those of thebroiler, and an intermediate sheet of wireV gauze clamped around itsedges by the rib of the broiler and recess of the ring, the said broilerand ring being secured together by means of lugs and screws, allsubstantially as herein shown and described, and for the purposes setforth.
